The setting was so beautiful! The staff was helpful and answered all my questions. The campground is well maintained. Even though they were vault toilets, the bathrooms were clean and did not smell. The showers were also very clean. Be prepared for cold nights if you come in the spring. And the cell phone service is minimal. Other than that, I loved every minute of my stay at Cave Springs.

My wife and I have never disliked a campground and our site more. Our site was E10 and we chose it online because it was along the exterior and off the beaten path. Wow, were we disappointed. Most sites are paired and our camping “partners” were already there and set up.

They didn’t back up to the end of their parking pad (due to excessive slope) and use the table behind their parking (as was intended) but instead sat in chairs outside their camper door just a stone’s throw from our designated campsite table. In order to get some privacy for our main camper door we had to back our van into the site by jockeying backwards and forwards as our parking pad wasn’t intended for backing into. On our camper door side we ended up with a small sliver of sloped real estate adjacent to the main campground road in which to set up a couple of chairs.

The ultimate problem is with the parking pad locations, slope of the pads, and table locations. Campers should not be presented with such a dilemma. We feel sure after mulling on the situation that at some point in time Cave Springs Campground doubled their camp sites by adding a second pad and table to each individual site (even if it made no sense) in order to make more $$$ at the expense of client enjoyment. What a bummer 🤨🙁.

We ended up leaving a day earlier than our reservation as the need to jockey our way back in (after visiting trails and Sedona), lack of a table nearby to use adjacent to our door and the obnoxious giant speed bumps when entering and leaving (really, why??? Are folks speeding in and out regularly???).

We went on the Verde Canyon Railroad in Cottonwood and swam in Oak Creek during our stay. We had a blast!

The campground was well maintained with plenty of staff and trash cans. The hosts recommendation to visit the swimming hole by the creek on the backside of the F site loop was a great way to end the day after having visited Slide Rock park earlier in the day.

Nice location, close enough to the town in case you need to grab something from the store. Has a shower unlike most camp sites.

Thoroughly enjoyed our five-day stay at Cave Springs. Our campsite was clean and freshly raked, bathrooms and showers were sparkling, trash was contained to the trash cans, staff was friendly and efficient and the park was quiet during the night. Highly recommended.

Great campground. Good location among Oak Creek. Quiet. Clean bathrooms. Hot showers. Tight spots for 5th wheel trailers. Would not exceed 30/32 ft.

New favorite campground! All of the hosts were great. The spots were spacious with plenty of trees and foliage in between to make them feel more private. Fun watching the wildlife play around our site daily (birds and squirrels). Pretty nice bathrooms that were regularly cleaned and tons of drinking water taps, so you never had to walk far to fill up your water. Showers available 24/7 for $4 for 8 minutes and needed supplies available at the main host stand. All of the sites are within easy walking distance to the creek, which was crystal clear, cool, and beyond beautiful. Loved that they don't allow music played, so it stays mostly quiet all day and night. Will definitely be back as soon as we can!

Location is great, weather was perfect. Close to West Fork trailhead for nice hike. Staff was very helpful and cooperative when we had to make a last minute addition to our schedule.
